Most people would consider having to wear a cast a nuisance, but one Chicago man is so obsessed with orthopedic casts that he covers his body in them even though he is not injured.

Wednesday night’s episode of the TLC reality show “My Strange Addiction” introduced Kevin, 27, who is addicted to “casting” — and has spent $50,000 on his quirky habit.

“It just feels so amazing and so snug and so comfortable, it gives me like this high that I just can’t really get any other way,” Kevin says in the episode.

His interest in casts began when he was 6 or 7 years old, and he would take toilet paper and wrap it around his limbs like casts. At age 12, he broke his arm Rollerblading and liked all the attention he got because of the cast.

“I love the attention I get . . . I love going out in public and seeing everybody — that gawk look is just amazing,” he says.
